Answer:

It will take 5.33 years for the price of gas to reach $4.8.-

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Present value= $3.7

Future value= $4.8

Growth rate= 5%

<u>To calculate the time required to reach  $4.8, we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+g)

n= ln(4.8 / 3.7) / ln(1.05)

n= 5.33

It will take 5.33 years for the price of gas to reach $4.8.-

Simplify this expression: (-2 - 8x) + (-4x - 10)
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The simplified form of expression<u> </u>(-2 - 8x) + (-4x - 10) is

-12(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given an expression (-2 - 8x) + (-4x - 10)

<u>To find the simplified expression of (-2 - 8x) + (-4x - 10)</u>

Let expression is given by

(-2 - 8x) + (-4x - 10) = -2 - 8x -4x -10

     = -2 -10 -4x -8x

     = -12 -12x

     -12(x + 1)   (since -12 is common in both terms)

Therefore simplified form is  -12(x + 1)

Consider the function,
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

If x= 4 then f(x) = 4x -5 is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x -5

We need to find the domain value that corresponds to the output f(x) = 11

In this question, we need to solve the expression for value of x such that the answer is 11.

if  x= 3

f(3) = 4(3) -5

     = 12 -5

    = 7

Since we want the answer 11 so we cannot take x= 3

if x = 4

f(4) = 4(4)-5

    = 16 - 5

    = 11

So, if x= 4 then f(x) = 4x -5 is 11.

1. The variable y varies inversely with x and y = 6 when x = 3.
Y_Kistochka [10]
Inverse variation means y=k/x, we are given (3,6) so

6=k/3

k=18 so

y=18/x

y=18/27

y=2/3
